Tick Bite, North Carolina is a small community on the Contentnea Creek near Grifton, North Carolina. Lenoir County is the home for this community of roughly 100 homes. The only business in the town is a quarry.
Tick Bite was decimated by Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Contentnea Creek, which runs parallel to much of the town, before emptying into the Neuse River, surged to levels that had not been seen (estimated by county and state officials) in 500 years. The flooding set a new "500 year flood plain" for the area.
